Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.

The kitchen features older white appliances and cabinetry, and the 1.5 bathroom layout is below modern standards for a three-bedroom home. While the flooring has been partially updated with laminate, the overall aesthetic, light fixtures, and original systems reflect a property that has been maintained through regular upkeep rather than a recent comprehensive renovation.
